The firm closed transactions in 34 states, with mortgages secured for 20 different property types.</p>               <p>&#34;In 2025, Eastern Union bolstered our national reputation as a go-to mortgage broker for structured deals and for large and complex transactions,&#34; said Abe Bergman, Eastern Union's president and co-founder. &#34;Our brokerage team is highly skilled in managing every element of the complete capital stack. We're capable of handling complicated real estate deals in a way that consistently benefits the borrower.&#34;</p><p>The firm also demonstrated specialized expertise in such sectors as healthcare, manufactured housing, and construction financing.</p><p>&#34;This was the year of the post-post-COVID hangover for healthcare,&#34; said Nachum Soroka, director of Eastern Union's healthcare group. &#34;The industry cleaned up the bad decisions it had made while under the influence of no interest rates and free money, poured itself a strong cup of reality-dosed coffee, and began making decisions based on the new environment. The silver tsunami is real and the demand for senior housing is still strong as ever.&#34;</p><p>&#34;In 2025, owners tapped into Eastern Union's first-class expertise in the specialized field of construction financing,&#34; said Moshe Maybloom, managing director at Eastern Union. &#34;We understand how cash flow must be properly managed through the full life cycle of a construction project. Construction financing isn't complete at the closing. The process can extend from twelve to 36 months after closing.&#34;</p><p>&#34;Lenders and investors have shown steadily growing interest in America's manufactured housing sector, which used to be called mobile home parks,&#34; said senior managing director Marc Tropp, who leads the company's manufactured housing practice. &#34;Eastern Union is using our specialized expertise to meet this demand. The number of transactions we've closed in this sector over the most recent five-year period was nearly three times greater than during the prior five-year period.&#34;  </p><p>The following four representative transactions highlight Eastern Union's success in closing deals among a range of asset categories and in varied locations nationwide:</p><p>In the multifamily space, the company secured $38.5 million to refinance a 479-unit multifamily property in Warren, MI, north of Detroit. In the healthcare sector, Eastern Union delivered $33.84 million toward the acquisition of a 144,263-square-foot medical office building in Brooklyn. The firm closed an $18.5-million construction loan for a 77-unit, mixed-use property in Manchester, NH. And in the self-storage arena, Eastern Union arranged $16.5 million in financing for a 208,000-square-foot self-storage complex in Fresno, CA.</p><p><b>About Eastern Union</b></p><p>Founded in 2001, Eastern Union is a national commercial real estate firm that provides both financing services and capital markets advisory services.
